Watch out for this Fake Oprah account on Facebook

A fake account claiming to be Oprah Winfrey promises thousands of dollars for shares and likes

What this page is about

This page is obviously fake. It works in two ways: First, attracting new users by promising money. Next, baiting them into clicking the link to the “movie”. Are you really able to download the movie for free?
